Today
was quite the adventure, which at this point on the trip is very much an every
day expectation. We began the day with a four hour walking tour of San
Sebastián with a local guide who showed us meat markets, historical squares,
and took us along a cool beach route. He was also gracious enough to give us a
much needed half hour break in the shade mid-tour, an opportunity he used to
enlighten us about the history of this great city. My personal favorite part of
the day was taking the sky tram up to the top of the hill near our hotel. It
was a bit like a ski lift, but instead of snow we got an amazing view of the
bay, the tiny island in the middle of it, and France in the distance. Our guide
was very kind and informative and was quite funny as well. After that the kids
went into town to get some food with the chaperones before hitting the beach.
CJ somehow convinced Eric, a born Montanan, to body surf in the cold beach
break. The kids were all super excited to see him catch a wave, and it wasn't
long before literally all of them were in the water. After the beach we went
into town for some souvenir shopping and an amazing dinner. We took cabs back
to the hotel and are now going to bed. We have a big day of traveling over to
France tomorrow, where we'll meet John for a week at a Buddhist monastery.
Namaste!
Sounds like another fun, action packed day for the Arch Academy!! Good job convincing Eric to go in the water, and the tour sounds like an amazing experience. I can't wait to see lots of photos. I know you will all have a great time in Plum Village, and Namaste! -Faith
